The level of misinformation being spread here is severe.
NACS is the Tesla connector. Tesla will support both its homemade protocol on that connector (at the moment far superior because it doesn't require separate payment, you just plug in and charge) and CCS. Other stations will support CCS for fast charging.
This only matters when you want to level 3 charge, i.e, supercharge. Level 2 chargers always work without CCS support because that's just a normal J1772 which was always pin-compatible with NACS (you get a simple plastic adapter with the car).
All Teslas 2021 and newer support CCS. It costs about $250-300 to upgrade an older Tesla to support CCS. Tesla already has upgrade programs in place for some models; you can just schedule it from the app. If you really need support for models that they haven't yet covered, 3rd parties have been offering this upgrade for a long time at the same prices.
There's nothing special here. No one is lying. I have no idea what you're talking about. Sounds like you have some problem with Tesla?
